Some of us recently took advantage of the great deals on 1100s at Walmart, and now it looks like another good deal is coming along.

A few folks on the Bargain 1100s thread bought the Beretta 390s for sale there. A matte finish, no mag cutoff, and synthetic stock seem to be the major differences between Sam's 390s and the standard ones, hardly crucial for most budget conscious shotgunners.

Now, over on the Shotgun Report,Ron Delong is passing the word along. These are very durable shotguns, and mnay are in use by heavy shooters, the guys that burn up thousands of rounds a year.

Bruce Buck, AKA the Technoid(My role model!), on Shotgun Report is a long time fan of the Berettas, and regards them as a great tool needing little in the way of mods or addons. Durability, sayeth he, is second to none, and he regards the Berettas as great gamer guns for shooters from entry level to world class.

Lots of Berettas end up in the trap,skeet and SC stats as winners.

For comparison, an 11-87 or Beretta 391 will not leave much change from a $1K bill.

Price is $530, roughly...

Downside? 2 3/4" only....
